Honestly I don't get it. I read a ton of pure romances, but I've read enough of them to know that this one was quite nonsensical. There was a lot of words (or a middling amount of words, 195 pages of them), but there didn't seem to be any sort of theme or underlying structure that connected them.

There was a bit of a plot, I think, but even that didn't get introduced until halfway through the book and then it seemed to be seen again until the end of the novel.

I was excited when I saw the summary for the book since I think that one of the most interesting themes out there is how the men and women in our military dealt with Don't Ask, Don't Tell. (And, I'm very glad that now I can say dealt in the past, not deal in the present).

Unfortunately, as with some of her other books, this didn't live up to its back cover PR. And again it just seemed like the skeleton of a novel, like maybe if the author bulked it up some, added in more detail and filled in some of the blanks, then it could have been at least a three star book if not a four star. But, it was a two star, and honestly one of them was sorta 'cause it was a lesbian romance fiction book. ( )
